From 310bc39546a435c83cc27a0eba878afac0d74714 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2023 18:06:51 +0000 Subject: KVM: x86/xen: Avoid deadlock by adding kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock leaf node lock In commit 14243b387137a ("KVM: x86/xen: Add KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_XEN_EVTCHN and event channel delivery") the clever version of me left some helpful notes for those who would come after him: /* * For the irqfd workqueue, using the main kvm->lock mutex is * fine since this function is invoked from kvm_set_irq() with * no other lock held, no srcu. In future if it will be called * directly from a vCPU thread (e.g. on hypercall for an IPI) * then it may need to switch to using a leaf-node mutex for * serializing the shared_info mapping. */ mutex_lock(&kvm->lock); In commit 2fd6df2f2b47 ("KVM: x86/xen: intercept EVTCHNOP_send from guests") the other version of me ran straight past that comment without reading it, and introduced a potential deadlock by taking vcpu->mutex and kvm->lock in the wrong order. Solve this as originally suggested, by adding a leaf-node lock in the Xen state rather than using kvm->lock for it.
